Oct., 1907. METEORITE StupiEs II — FARRINGTON 123 
was bare at that point, showing that the grass had been killed. The 
meteorite did not lie at the point where it had struck, however, but 
about its own width (four inches) to the south. It had thus evidently 
bounced southward on striking. Mr. McDonald, of Modoc, informed 
the writer that the stone which he found had also bounded southward. 
Mr. Freed, of Modoc, informed the writer that the stone which he found 
had penetrated the sod about four inches. This was of tabular form 
and was on edge. It weighed 11 lbs. 
~The following list shows the individual stones which had been 
found at the time of the writer’s visit and the names of the finders. 
All of these masses were seen by the writer. The weights are in sev- 
eral cases approximate only. Those that are known accurately are 
given in grams.

In addition the find of an individual weighing 1% lbs. was reported 
by O. L. Douglass, and of one weighing 2 lbs. by F.P. Heller. Thusa 
total of at least fifteen stones has been found, having an aggregate 
weight of about 35 lbs. (16 kgs.). 
The distribution of these specimens over the area in falling shows a 
remarkable gradation in accordance with their size. The stones fell 
in order of their weight from west to east. This is graphically shown 
in Plate XX XVII. The two individuals weighing 1 lb. and 2 lbs. each 
found in the vicinity of the 5 lb. mass are fragments, the remaining 
portions of which were not found although extended search was made, 
and the region is exceptionally favorable for searching for meteorites. 
The smooth buffalo sod has no other stones upon it and the vegetable 
growth is not sufficient to hide stones of appreciable size. These frag- 
mentary individuals are shown-in Plate XL. The complete indi- 
viduals would probably weigh about 5 lbs. each. Some of the non- 
crusted surfaces of these show blackening while others are perfectly
